Employee Assistance Program
WPI is concerned about its faculty and staff, not only as employees, but also as individuals. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides WPI employees and their families with an opportunity to identify potential problems and prevent them from becoming major obstacles in their work and personal lives. The program also helps employees and their families resolve personal problems that may already be affecting their performance both on and off the job.
The EAP is provided to WPI by the Wellness Corporation, a locally owned and operated company specializing in Employee Assistance Programs. Headquartered in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, the Wellness Corporation can serve local or national needs with equal ease. The EAP can assist WPI employees and their families to obtain - at no cost to the employee - confidential assessment, counseling, referral and follow-up services for problems covering a wide range of issues, including: emotional problems, martial and relationship concerns, family problems, parenting issues, stress, work problems, domestic violence, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, communication problems, depression and suicidal thoughts, budget and debt problems, and legal concerns.
Confidentiality is a critical feature of the Employee Assistance Program. Employees and their families can be confident that no one at the work place or anywhere else will know that the EAP was utilized unless the employee chooses to tell someone, except as may be required by law.
Consultation/assessment are at no cost to you and your family members. To access the services of the WPI Employee Assistance Program through the Wellness Corporation, call the toll free number at (800) 828-6025 or locally at (508) 842-2780.
